So the gorilla tape kind of melts and turns real gooey when the temperature gets too hot... So I went back to 3M an low and behold the marker had stayed in place despite a ridiculous amount of jolts and jumps (pot holes / crappy north NJ speed bumps, etc.)... I think the trick this time was that I 1) more thoroughly cleaned the area and 2) cut the tape using a straight razor so it exactly fit the side marker...

I have to get around to doing the other side marker like this now...

Command strips (not sure if I'll go with the velcro or sticky type) were going to be my next option. Once this tape stops holding I'll give them a try.
